Bishop
Bernard Fellay (born April 12, 1958 in Switzerland) is a bishop
and superior general of the self-professed Traditionalist Catholic
Society of St. Pius X. He grew up near the seminary of Ecône
where he entered in October 1977. He was ordained to the priesthood
on June 29, 1982. On June 30, 1988, he was consecrated a bishop by
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

In 1988, the Vatican II sect declared
Bishop Fellay "automatically excommunicated" through being
consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, an act that they
described as "unlawful" and "schismatic" (cf.
Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei). In January 2009, at Fellay's
request, the Vatican II sect lifted the excommunication that it
stated had automatically occurred.

In July 1994 Fellay was elected as
Superior General of the SSPX, and in 1996, the General Chapter
re-elected him for a second term of office.

Society of St. Pius X

The Society
of St. Pius X (commonly known as the SSPX)
is a self-professed traditional Catholic priestly society, founded in
1970 by the Archbishop
Marcel Lefebvre from France. The current superior general of
the SSPX is Bishop Bernard Fellay. The purpose of the society is to
provide validly ordained priests who claim to uphold traditional and
orthodox Catholicism, free from any association with neo-modernist
doctrines which, through external influences, came to prominence
following the Second
Vatican Council.

Although they were not the first such
society, the SSPX and the personality of Archbishop Lefebvre became
in the eyes of the wider world, the standard bearers of "Catholic
tradition" in resistance to the diabolical innovations of the
Second Vatican Council and it's "spirit" in the period
after. Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop Antonio de Castro Meyer
consecrated four Bishops at Écône in 1988 (Bishops
Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Richard Williamson, and
Alfonso de Galarreta).

Existing in around sixty countries to
date, the SSPX claims to adhere to authentic Catholic doctrine and
celebrates the traditional Latin Mass according to the missal
promulgated by Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) in 1962.

It is in
large part because of the SSPX (and other traditionalist societies)
that the Vatican II sect has responded by creating their own
traditional societies to poach members and bring them under their
control, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and Fraternity
of St. Vincent Ferrer. There have been break-aways from the SSPX over
the years such as the Society
of St. Pius V (or SSPV).

Many sedevacantists view the SSPX as in
schism from the Vatican II sect they recognizes as a valid Catholic
hierarchy. The SSPX also consider the Vatican II antipopes as "true"
popes in its public declarations, though it considers that many of
the Vatican II's leaders are, as individuals, erroneous. So the SSPX
obstinately operates outside of communion with the Novus Ordo
hierarchy, even though it recognizes it as a true and Catholic
hierarchy. This is actually schismatic.

Archbishop Marcel
Lefebvre, Declaration of August, 1976: “All those
enter into schism who cooperate in this realization of this upheaval
and adhere to this new Conciliar Church, as His excellency
Bishop Benelli designated it in the letter he addressed to me in the
Holy Father’s name last June 25th.” (Quoted in
Sacerdotium)

Fr. Franz
Schmidberger, former Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X:
“We have never wished to belong to this system which
calls itself the Conciliar Church, and identifies itself
with the Novus Ordo Missae… The faithful indeed have
a strict right to know that priests who serve them are not in
communion with a counterfeit church.” (Quoted in
Sacerdotium)

The Angelus,
Official publication of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), May, 2000:
“This current of renewal has given birth to a new church
within the bosom of the Catholic Church, to that which Msgr. Benelli
himself called ‘the conciliar church,’
whose limits and paths are very difficult to define... It is
against this conciliar church that our resistance stands. We do not
refuse our adherence to the Pope as such, but to this conciliar
church, for its ideas are foreign to those of the Catholic Church.”
(The Angelus, Angelus Press, May 2000, p. 21)

After Marcel Lefebvre's controversial
consecration of four bishops in 1988, the Vatican II's Congregation
for so-called Bishops declared him "automatically
excommunicated", a declaration confirmed by John Paul II, who
had tried in vain to achieve a reconciliation with then Cardinal
Joseph Ratzinger's help.

Society of St. Pius X - Marian Corps

The Society of St. Pius X - Marian
Corps, also refered to as the SSPX-MC, (originally known
as the Society of St. Pius X of the Strict Observance or
SSPX-SO) is a break-away group from the SSPX, founded in
September 2012, by members of the Society of St. Pius X who
disagreed with Bishop Bernard Fellay's overtures to modernist Rome.
The first elected leader of the group is Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, one of
the five co-founders along with Fr. Francois Chazal, Fr. Ronald J.
Ringrose, Fr. Richard Voigt and Fr. David Hewko. They see themselves
as holding true to the principles of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre,
opposing any drift towards liberalism and modernism, as laid out in
their document the Vienna Declaration.

The SSPX-MC has not changed the
operating rules of the Society of St. Pius X, but provides a refuge
for priests who no longer believe they can fulfill their vows in that
Society. Fr. Chazal has said that liberalism has seeped into the
highest levels of the SSPX. The SSPX-MC has chapels affiliated with
it in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

SSPX-MC group is far worse (in regard
to their doctrinal views) than most people can imagine. They
completely reject Catholic teaching just as their main sect, the
SSPX. They are basically Protestants.

The Vienna Declaration

+“ONLY SHE CAN HELP YOU”+

Vienna, Virginia,
10th August 2012 Priest Meeting.

TODAY’S SITUATION

1. The Society of St. Pius X
declaration of July 14th, 2012, while proclaiming the notion of the
Divinity of Christ and His Kingship, actually moves in the opposite
direction by using ambiguous language and by preparing to place the
SSPX under the authorities of “the Rome of neo-Modernist and
neo-Protestant tendencies.” (1974 Declaration)

2. There has
been a longtime slide in the SSPX towards Vatican II and a growing
silence about Novus Ordo scandals against the Faith.

3. There is an
illusion that one can join the Vatican II Church without accepting
Vatican II.

4. There is a
need to assure souls that the combat for Catholic Tradition,
maintained by Archbishop Lefebvre against Modernist Rome, will
continue.

5. A new
attitude favoring compromise has infected the leadership of the SSPX.

6. This new
attitude now prevails in publications, websites, seminaries and
pulpits.

7. The priests
who resist this new attitude are being punished or threatened with
punishment and in all cases are being silenced. The present crisis
demands a public response of priests and faithful against this
compromise with Modernist Rome.

8. Many priests
are personally disillusioned with Menzingen for doctrinal reasons but
are unsure, cowed or do not know what to do.

9. Many
independent priests trust the SSPX less and less. They hope to pass
on their parishes to doctrinally reliable priests.

10. There is a
replacement of the original Fatima solution, which is the
consecration
of Russia by the pope united with the bishops, by a belief
that the SSPX can negotiate Modernist Rome back to the Catholic
Faith.

11. The imprudent
and reckless willingness to agree to a “suitable condition”
of abandoning the flock to the “wolves” of the diocesan
bishops.

DECLARATION

The heart of the Faith is the Divinity
of Christ and his Kingship over all nations: “Oportet illum
regnare”. The errors of Vatican II are an indirect attack
against his Divinity and a direct attack on his Social Kingship. They
will forever remain the Revolution of 1789 within the Church.

Today’s Vatican has only changed
for the worse since the Council (more damage, more new heresies, more
effective semi-modernism), to such an extent that we can repeat the
Archbishop’s words of 1974 and 1976: “The Church that
affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This
Conciliar Church is therefore not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope,
bishops, priests or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate
themselves from the Catholic Church.” (June 29, 1976)

The Pope [referring to Benedict XVI]
has allowed the True Mass, but only within the Pantheon of modernist
liturgies. Further, he has made clear his espousing of the false
doctrine of Religious Liberty by preaching it to be the model of how
the Church and State are to relate one to another. Lastly the
doctrine of Ecumenism has been widely and consistently professed by
the Pontiff in his visits to protestant temples, synagogues and
mosques and Assisi III confirms that the spirit of Assisi is alive
and well. It was this spirit that moved the Archbishop to undertake
an “Operation Survival”, that is now itself in great
peril.

Today’s SSPX clearly wants to
place itself under this Conciliar Church, mitigates the poison of
Vatican II, is more and more silent in face of the abuses by the
conciliar hierarchy, uses ambiguous language referring to two
opposite Magisteria. At the same time that it is ever ready to
believe in a constant debate with obdurate Roman officials, it uses
strong arm tactics toward those standing against wicked
reconciliation.

We must wait for Our Lady to convert
the Pope and inspire him to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart
in union with all the bishops and we must persevere in the Charity of
the Truth and the Truth of Charity, organized in a united corps of
priests faithful to the position always maintained by Archbishop
Lefebvre.

Bishop Bernard Fellay's Heretical Practices
Exposed

Give us the Mass; Forget the Faith

The Society of St. Pius X proves their
priority is the Mass and not the Faith, which they do not possess
anyway—they deny the Salvation Dogma, they believe certain men
can be saved who died worshipping false gods and practicing false
religions; they believe in the heresy of Natural Family Planning;
and, they are schismatics for consecrating bishops contrary to the
expressed will of a man they believe is the true pope. Accompanying
the loss of the faith is the loss of reason, the loss of proper
priorities.

The Superior General of the heretical
and schismatic non-Catholic sect of the Society of Saint Pius X,
Bishop Bernard Fellay, had met with apostate Antipope John Paul II,
whom he believes is Catholic and a pope. This inevitable meeting is
only more proof that the Society of Saint Pius X is an opposition
party set up by Satan to keep Sunday “Catholics”—those
who put the Mass before the Faith—in the Conciliar Church and
thus under the power of Satan. This fateful meeting only confirms
what is already known of the motives of the SSPX (Society of St. Pius
X). I will quote from Bishop Fellay’s official statement on
1/22/2001 that describes his meeting with John Paul II.

Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Menzingen, January 22, 2001: “4. December 30, during a
few moments, the Superior General visits the Pope in his private
chamber (no words of importance are exchanged).”

Did Bishop Fellay not speak of the
apostasy, heresy, and idolatry when he met with John Paul II, if, as
he said, “no words of importance are exchanged”? -
If he did not speak of the heresies when he meet with John Paul II,
or, if he he did speak of the heresies when he meet with John Paul II
but called it “no words of importance” - why did he do
that? Because Bishop Fellay and his sect are guilty of the same
crimes by way omission and some by commission. The SSPX does not
recognize the clear heresies in the Vatican II documents. They do not
refer to heresy as heresy but only as errors or deviations, and thus
they do not condemn as heretics those who teach them. They also
believe in and embrace several heresies themselves, such as salvation
outside the Church and Natural Family Planning. Not once have they
denounced John Paul II or any other of the apostate antipopes as
non-Catholic apostates, heretics, idolaters, and blasphemers;
(the few SSPX followers however who call some of their actions
blasphemy, idolatry or heresy nevertheless excuse the men
perpetuating these crimes from the formal charge of heresy, or still
regard them as popes anyway); thus, they are guilty of crimes and
sins of omissions since they do not denounce the clear heresies
rampant in the Vatican II hierarchy. If anyone in the SSPX did
denounce the clear crimes of the Vatican II sect as formal heresy or
apostasy, they would have to break of communion and membership with
the SSPX, since their beliefs then would not be shared by the
official SSPX position. If they did not break off communion with the
SSPX, even if they do not share their beliefs, they would outwardly
profess communion and membership with a heretical non-Catholic
sect and hence fall outside the Catholic Church by tacit approval
of heresy and heretics. What good could one derive from attending the
Holy Mass if he does not have the Catholic faith? This would only
result in sacrilegious receptions of the Holy Eucharist. This, alone,
proves that the Holy Mass is being abused by traditional so-called
Catholics, just as it was before Vatican II, in that these Sunday
“Catholics” have no true regard (love) for the Catholic
faith. In truth, “Without faith it is impossible to please
God,” (Heb. 11:6) no matter how many Masses a heretic or
schismatic attends.

Bishop Fellay clearly shows where his
priorities lie.

Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Menzingen, January 22, 2001: “6. January 16, a new
meeting with Cardinal Castrillon, during which the Superior General
exposes the need for guarantees on behalf of Rome, before
going further in possible discussion or agreement: +That the
Tridentine Mass is granted to all the priests in the whole world.
+That the censures which strike the bishops be cancelled.”

Bishop Fellay has put Mass before the
Faith, and to be exact, the Mass while forgetting or ignoring the
Faith. If the faith is not put before the Mass, then the Mass will
only serve to damn those who receive unworthily to a deeper pit in
hell. In truth what Bishop Fellay has said, in essence, is this: let
us ignore and forget the Catholic faith, let us forget that John Paul
II teaches Moslems worship the one true God and that he kissed the
Koran; let us forget that he teaches and practices the heresy of
Religious Liberty; let us forget that he teaches the apostate Jews
worship the true God and that they are still in possession of the
Covenant and are Catholics’ “elder brothers in the
faith”; let us forget that John Paul II teaches Protestants and
Schismatics are joined to the Catholic Church and that some have died
as martyrs for the faith; let us forget that he teaches that
Catholics are now allowed to pray in communion with non-Catholics;
let us forget that he teaches that non-Catholic religions are a means
to salvation; yes, let us forget and ignore all of that for now, just
give us the Mass. We do not really care or deem as important, or
worthy of mention, if the priest or his flock teach and practice the
Catholic faith or lead souls to hell; this, we will not think of or
come to an agreement on now, just give us the Mass. Dear
reader, can you not see the truth of the matter and, in fact, how
evil this is? Where is the priority of Bishop Fellay and his sect,
the SSPX? If you cannot see the truth (the Catholic Faith) vs. what
is false (not the Catholic Faith), it is because you “will not
to see it” and therefore God has sent you the operation of
error that you may believe lying and thus be condemned to
everlasting hell fire on your judgment day just as you deserve for
your bad will and obstinacy (2 Thess. 2:9-11). God indeed will permit
a faithless, godless people that rejects Him and that loves pleasure
more than they love Him, to receive the fruits of their sins
and their own evil ways (Prov. 1:31; Proverbs 14:14), just as
they desired (2 Tim. 3:1-5) and in fact deserves as a
recompense for their evil crimes (Prov. 1:25).

Open Communion with the Vatican II Church

The SSPX is in the process of
leading its wayward flock back into open communion with the Vatican
II Church, which they claim to belong to. Bishop Fellay, the
Superior General of the SSPX, is negotiating reconciliation with the
Vatican II Church. The two points he requires for reconciliation are
the uninhibited use of the Tridentine (Pius V) Mass and the lifting
of their excommunications. He does not even mention the faith issues,
the multiple crimes of idolatry, blasphemy, apostasy and heresy of
the Vatican II Church and its apostate antipopes. Bishop Fellay,
indeed, says, give us Pius V’s Mass, but forget the Faith!

The
Catholic World Report,
June 2003, "World Watch," pp. 8-9: “A
move toward traditionalists? - Lefebvrist
leader sees reason for optimism -
A
sensational report that appeared in an Italian newspaper late in
April, alleging that the Vatican was close to a final reconciliation
with the schismatic Society of St. Pius X… The new
negotiations between Rome and the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) that
began in 2000 reportedly opened with a letter in which Cardinal
Castrillón Hoyos assured
the traditionalists that the Vatican would allow their continued use
of the Mass of Pius V…
SSPX, Bishop Bernard Fellay, led a delegation to talks with Rome,
during which the SSPX representatives expressed
regret that two key traditionalist concerns had not yet been
resolved.
The group sought
an assurance from the Holy See that all priests would be assured of
the right to use the Tridentine liturgy, and that all disciplinary
measures meted out against traditionalists after the 1988 break would
be lifted.
The
traditionalists said that they had not gained assurances on either
point…
Bishop Fellay, on the other hand, said that his group is continuing
talks with the Congregation for the Clergy. “The negotiations
are continuing,” he said. “They are not dead. But they
are advancing with prudence on both sides.”… However
he reiterated that traditionalists would insist ontwo conditions:
every
priest must have the right to use the pre-conciliar liturgy, and the
excommunications that were imposed on traditionalist leaders in 1988
must be lifted.”

In essence, what Bishop Fellay says is
this: “We do not care about the blasphemies and crimes
against God so long as we have the Mass! Just give us the Mass of
Pius V and lift our excommunications—and then we can be in full
and open communion with you. Restore our good name, but forget the
good Name of God that is being blasphemed. Let us negotiate the Mass
and our excommunications, but those other things (the heresies and
apostasies) we can forget for now, for we
wholeheartedly wish to be in full communion with you—if
only we can get the mass!” Dear reader, can you not see how
evil this is? Can you not see how Pius V’s Mass will not save
these faithless bastards?

SSPX Bishop Fellay states his group will
"vigorously protest these canonizations"

The article below is an example of how
the position of the SSPX and Bernard Fellay is theologically absurd,
schismatic and heretical; for they acknowledge the leaders of the
Counter Church but vigorously oppose their solemn ‘canonizations.’

From the sspx.org

Dear friends and benefactors,

If on April 27th John XXIII and John
Paul II are canonized, the act will present a double problem to the
Catholic conscience. Firstly, the problem of the canonization itself:
how can it be possible to offer to the whole Church as an example of
sanctity the instigator of Vatican Council II and the Pope of Assisi
and human rights?

But there is also the deeper problem of
what will appear to be an unprecedented recognition of catholicity:
how is it possible to put the Church’s stamp of approval and
sanctity on the teachings of such a Council, which inspired all of
Karol Wojtyla’s action and whose rotten fruits are the
indisputable indication of the Church’s self-destruction? This
second problem offers the solution: the errors contained in the
documents of Vatican Council II and in the reforms that followed,
especially in the liturgical reform, could not possibly be the work
of the Holy Ghost, who is at once the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit
of Holiness.

That is why it seems necessary to us to
recall the principal errors and the fundamental reasons for which we
cannot subscribe to the novelties of the Council and of the reforms
that came of it, any more than to these canonizations that hope to
“canonize” Vatican II.

For this reason, as we vigorously
protest these canonizations, we wish to denounce the undertaking that
has denatured the Church since Vatican Council II…

The Joint Declaration of Schism by Catholic
Family News and The Remnant on the SSPX

As noted, The SSPX rejects the solemn
actions of its “Popes,” such as Canonizations, which are
infallible if declared by a true Pope. Nevertheless, Michael Matt and
John Vennari are coming out publicly in support of the SSPX’s
schismatic position.

Michael Matt and
John Vennari, A Joint Statement from The Remnant and Catholic
Family News on Rome and the SSPX: “Three years ago, Bishop
Fellay advanced wise criteria for negotiations with today’s
Vatican. In his January 3, 2003 “Letter to Friends and
Benefactors”, Bishop Fellay cautioned: ‘To guarantee our
future, we must obtain from today’s Rome clear proof of
its attachment to the Rome of yesterday. When the Roman
authorities have re-stated with actions speaking louder than words
that “There must be no innovations outside of Tradition”
then ‘we’ [the SSPX] shall no longer be a problem.’
Based on this prudent criteria, we fail to see how any
present-day negotiations will guarantee the future of the Society of
Saint Pius X, since today’s Rome provides no clear proof of its
attachment to the Rome of yesterday; no evidence by actions
that speak louder than words that “there must be no innovations
outside of Tradition”. We see, in fact, the contrary; so much
so that many who initially celebrated Cardinal Ratzinger’s
election to the papacy, including a number of Novus Ordo Catholics,
are now crestfallen at Pope Benedict XVI’s first nine months of
office….”

In other words, the SSPX should not put
itself under “the Catholic hierarchy” because “the
Catholic hierarchy” has not submitted to the demands of the
SSPX. “The Catholic hierarchy” has not satisfied the SSPX
and the “traditionalist” world that it is Catholic
enough, so the SSPX should continue to remain independent and shun it
until Rome gets its act in order. This is totally schismatic. Oh, but
don’t let anyone say that the SSPX doesn’t recognize the
hierarchy, for they pray for their “Pope” and “Bishops”
at every Mass… and they are not sedevacantists. All of this
means nothing except that they honor their phony “hierarchy”
and “Pope” with their lips, but their actions totally
reject them. The fact of the matter is that Matt, Vennari, Fellay and
the SSPX are sedevacantists in their approach to apostate Rome –
they advocate an independent position which is only acceptable if the
Chair of Peter is vacant – but they are too dishonest to take
the position.

They want the best of both worlds. They
want the SSPX (and other independent groups) to be able to act like
sedevacantists, to be able to have an independent Latin Mass, and to
be able to totally shun Benedict XVI or his successor, Francis and
his “Bishops,” while at the same time claiming that there
is a true Pope in Rome whom they are under. But in attempting to have
the “best of both worlds,” they are rejected by both.
They are rejected by God and the true Catholic Church because they
recognize a manifestly heretical Antipope as Catholic. They are also
rejected by their counterfeit, Vatican II sect of Benedict XVI and
Francis, because they advocate a schismatic position which
obstinately operates outside of it and rejects its official teaching
(Vatican II).

Canon 1325.2, 1917
Code of Canon Law: “One who after baptism… rejects
the authority of the Supreme Pontiff or refuses communion with the
members of the Church who are subject to him, he is a schismatic.”

Schism can be either refusing communion
with a true Pope (not an Antipope) or refusing communion with the
members of the Church who are in communion with the Pope. The
position of the SSPX acknowledges the Vatican II “Popes”
as true Popes and holds the Novus Ordo “Bishops” to be
Catholic Bishops. However, the SSPX and its current leader, Fellay,
operates outside of communion with this hierarchy, which it
considers to be the Catholic hierarchy. Since the SSPX has been
obstinate in this position for decades, its position is clearly
schismatic.

The SSPX silences bishop for questioning official
"Holocaust" story

Bishop Bernard Fellay of the SSPX has
silenced a member of his group because he dared to offend the Jews.

This is truly outrageous. The control
and influence of the Jews has created a world-wide ambience in which
even supposed Catholics and Christians are terrified at the thought
of offending Jews or questioning their beliefs. The official story of
the Holocaust is refuted even by Jewish sources, as credible
documented proof shows. But even if one isn’t convinced on that
point, certainly inquiry and divergent opinions in this area are
acceptable for a Catholic. But no… the heretical leadership of
the SSPX is so ashamed of offending the Jews that they feel obliged
to silence a bishop of their society for simply expressing his
opinion on the matter. Think about this! In so doing, they have
essentially elevated belief in the Jewish version of the Holocaust to
the status of a dogma which one cannot question.

If we continue on this path, in just a
short time it will probably be illegal basically everywhere to
question anything the Jews do or believe. If this comes to pass, it
will be, in large part, as a result of weak and phony “Christians,”
as well as the machinations of those who wield Jewish power and
influence. Here’s a headline which captures where we are
headed: "Holocaust denial violates Catholic teaching"

“Bishop Bernard Fellay…
said that he had disciplined the bishop who made the statement,
British-born Richard Williamson, and ordered him not to speak out
again on any political or historical issues. Williamson's remarks on
the Holocaust, most recently on Swedish TV last week, provoked
widespread criticism by Jews who said he had wiped out nearly half a
century of dialogue with Catholics.”

Consider these fact: 1) there are many
facts which contradict the official “Holocaust story”, 2)
news articles shows how the “Holocaust” has become the
super-dogma of the nations; 3) combined with the control and
influence of the Jews, the Official Holocaust hoax story has
effectively created a world-wide ambience in which even supposed
Catholics and Christians are terrified at the thought of offending
Jews or questioning their beliefs.

It’s illegal in at least 14
countries to deny the official “Holocaust” story.
Holocaust denial is illegal in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
France, Germany, Israel, Lichtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Spain and Switzerland. Think about that for a
moment, and then ask yourself who is really in power. It’s
illegal to question the official story of the “Holocaust,”
even though it’s perfectly legal in those countries to deny the
Divinity and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That means that those
countries are truly Jewish states, for their laws uphold and imprison
those who deny beliefs dear to Jews, but not to people of other
religions.

Bishop Bernard Fellay's Heretical Beliefs Exposed

Bishop Bernard Fellay of the SSPX blatantly
denies Catholic dogma by teaching that Hindus can be saved

It’s repeatedly been documented
that almost all traditionalist priests deny the dogma Outside the
Church There is No Salvation. It’s also been documented that
among those dogma deniers, the priests of the SSPX are prominent.
It’s also been pointed out that almost all of these dogma
deniers sometimes make statements which seem to indicate that they
hold the dogma; when, in fact, they don’t. All of this was on
display in Bishop Bernard Fellay’s recent Conference in Denver,
Colorado. His speech was printed in the recent issue of The
Angelus. Notice that near the beginning of his Conference, Fellay
made statements which absolutely seemed to indicate that he holds
strictly to the necessity of the Catholic Faith and Jesus Christ for
salvation.

Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Conference in Denver, Co., Feb. 18, 2006: “So
Faith is necessary. The Church is necessary. If we want to be saved,
there is no other way except for the Church which Jesus has
founded. Between God and creation, there is an infinite gap.
On the side of man, since Original Sin, there is no way to cross this
infinite abyss except by the bridge imposed and created by God in His
only-begotten Son made flesh, Our Lord Jesus Christ. There is
no other way to go to heaven except Our Lord Jesus Christ and
Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to associate with this work of
Redemption the souls who would be united with Him, in Him, through
Baptism, and which constitute the Mystical Body of Christ, the
Catholic Church. What a tremendous mystery. This is why the Church
is as necessary as Jesus; because it is the same reality.”
(The Angelus, “A Talk Heard Round the World,”
April, 2006, p. 5)

Very shortly after making these
statements, however, Fellay proceeded to deny the dogma and reveal
that he doesn’t believe anything he just said.

Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Conference in Denver, Co., Feb. 18, 2006: “We
know that there are two other baptisms, that of desire and that
of blood. These produce an invisible but real link with Christ but do
not produce all of the effects which are received in the baptism of
water… And the Church has always taught that you have
people who will be in heaven, who are in the state of grace, who have
been saved without knowing the Catholic Church. We know this. And
yet, how is it possible if you cannot be saved outside the Church? It
is absolutely true that they will be saved through the Catholic
Church because they will be united to Christ, to the Mystical Body of
Christ, which is the Catholic Church. It will, however, remain
invisible, because this visible link is impossible for them. Consider
a Hindu in Tibet who has no knowledge of the Catholic Church. He
lives according to his conscience and to the laws which God has put
into his heart. He can be in the state of grace, and if he
dies in this state of grace, he will go to heaven.” (The
Angelus, “A Talk Heard Round the World,” April, 2006,
p. 5)

This is blatant heresy. Hindus, by the
way, worship many false gods; they are not only without the Catholic
Faith necessary for salvation, but idolaters.

Kali, one of the
approximately 330,000 false gods worshipped by the Hindus – a
religion not condemned, but praised by Vatican II

Pope Leo XIII, Ad
Extremas (#1), June 24, 1893: “Our thoughts turn first of
all to the blessed Apostle Thomas who is rightly called the
founder of preaching the Gospel to the Hindus. Then, there is
Francis Xavier… Through his extraordinary perseverance, he
converted hundreds of thousands of Hindus from the myths
and vile superstitions of the Brahmans to the true religion.
In the footsteps of this holy man followed numerous priests…
they are continuing these noble efforts; nevertheless, in the vast
reaches of the Earth, many are still deprived of the truth,
miserably imprisoned in the darkness of superstition.”

Pope Pius IX, Qui
Pluribus (# 15), Nov. 9, 1846: “Also perverse is that
shocking theory that it makes no difference to which religion one
belongs, a theory greatly at variance even with reason. By means of
this theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue
and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile action. They pretend
that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion,
as if there could ever be any sharing between justice and
iniquity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any
agreement between Christ and Belial.”

By the way, these words are found on
the very same page of The Angelus as the words in the first
quote above. This is disgusting and bold heresy, and proves that
Fellay doesn’t believe anything he said above. First, notice
that he says “We know that there are two other baptisms.”
Excuse me, but we know that there is ONLY ONE BAPTISM OF WATER.
Catholics confess one baptism. If you don’t confess only one
baptism, you are not a Catholic.

Pope Clement V,
Council of Vienne, 1311-1312, ex cathedra:
“Besides, one baptism which regenerates all who
are baptized in Christ must be faithfully confessed by all
just as ‘one God and one faith’ [Eph. 4:5], which
celebrated in waterin the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit we believe to be commonly the perfect
remedy for salvation for adults as for children.” (Denz. 482)

Second, Fellay says a Hindu –
that is, an idolater who worships many false gods and doesn’t
believe in Jesus Christ – can be in the state of grace and be
saved. This is a total rejection of infallible Catholic dogma. This
proves again that Bishop Bernard Fellay is not a member of the
Catholic Church. He rejects the solemn teaching that all who die in
non-Catholic religions and without the essential mysteries of the
Catholic Faith will be lost. He has changed the dogma that no one can
be saved outside the Catholic Church or without the Catholic Faith
(the truth that all individuals who die as non-Catholics will be
lost, all the Hindus, Muslims, Jews, etc.) to the heretical
idea that no one can be saved except through the
Catholic Church (meaning that all individuals who are saved, even if
they are not Catholic and part of a false religion or even
worshipping false gods, are saved in their religions but through
the Catholic Church). This is evil heresy which is contradicted by ex
cathedra Papal teaching. The fact that he holds that Hindus, etc.
can be saved in their false religions reveals that he has no
Faith. (By the way, notice that he also teaches the condemned
heresy of an invisible Church by teaching that non-Catholic Hindus
are invisibly united to the Church.) The fact that he is guiding a
large body of those who consider themselves traditional Catholics in
our day is a frightening signal of exactly where we are in history
and the Great Apostasy.

By the way, Bishop Fellay holds the
same heresy that Archbishop Lefebvre held.

Archbishop
Lefebvre, Open Letter to Confused Catholics,
1986: “‘Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation’…
Does that mean that no Protestant, no Muslim, no Buddhist or animist will
be saved? No, it would be a second error to think that.
… The doctrine of the Church also recognizes implicit—baptism
of desire. This consists in doing the will of God. God knows all men
and He knows that amongst Protestants, Muslims, Buddhists and in the
whole of humanity there are men of good will. They receive the grace
of baptism without knowing it, but in an effective way. In this way they become part of the Church.” (From his book Open Letter to Confused Catholics,
1986, Chapter X, Ecumenism, p. 73-4)

Those who refuse to believe in the
dogma Outside the Church There is No Salvation until they
understand how there is justice in it are simply withholding their
Faith in Christ’s revelation. Those with the true Faith in
Christ (and His Church) accept His teaching first and
understand the truth in it (i.e., why it is true) second. A
Catholic does not withhold his belief in Christ’s revelation
until he can understand it. That is the mentality of a faithless
heretic who possesses insufferable pride. St. Anselm sums up the true
Catholic outlook on this point.

St. Anselm, Doctor
of the Church, Prosologion, Chap. 1: “For I do not
seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in
order to understand. For this also I believe, that unless
I believed, I should not understand.”

In many ways the dogma outside
the Catholic Church there is no salvation is one of the most
important dogmas in the Catholic Church. Connected with this is the
necessity of receiving the Sacrament
of Baptism. But today both of these truths are almost
universally denied by those calling themselves Catholic. They assert
that the unbaptized can be united to the Church, justified (attain
the state of grace) and saved by what is called baptism
of desire. A tiny minority of those who believe in
baptism of desire (less than 1%) limit it to those who
actually desire baptism and believe in the Catholic religion
(e.g., unbaptized catechumens). The vast majority of them (more than
99%) extend the possibility of salvation by baptism of desire
to pagans, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, etc. and people of no
religion, who do not actually desire baptism or believe in the
Catholic Faith. This majority group also somehow extends the "saving
capability" of baptism of desire to Protestants, even
though Protestants have already been baptized.

The heretics believe ‘invincible
ignorance’ can save anyone in any situation. They deny the
defined Catholic dogma that one must have the ‘Catholic faith’
(which involves belief in the Trinity and Incarnation) to be saved.
They are heretics who don’t possess an ounce of faith in Christ
or His truth. St. Alphonsus and St. Thomas, like all of the fathers
of the Church, rejected the modern heresy of “invincible
ignorance” saving those who die as non-Catholics. Their
speculation and erroneous teaching on baptism of blood/desire only
regarded those who believe in the Trinity and Incarnation (the most
essential mysteries of Catholic faith). And this point really
shows the dishonesty of modern heretics, who like to quote St.
Alphonsus and St. Thomas Aquinas on baptism of desire to somehow
justify their heretical idea that members of false religions can be
saved by “baptism of desire.”

The Catholic Church teaches that all
non-Catholic religions are false. There is only one true Church,
outside of which no one can be saved. This is Catholic dogma.

Pope
St. Gregory the Great, 590-604: “The holy universal Church
teaches that it is not possible to worship God truly except in her
and asserts that all who are outside
of her will not be saved.” (The
Papal Encyclicals, Vol. 1
(1740-1878), p. 230)

All of the other religions belong to
the Devil. This is the teaching of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church
and Sacred Scripture.

“But the
things which the heathens sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and
not to God.” (1 Corinthians 10:20)

“For all
the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.”
(Psalm 95:5)

Anyone who shows esteem or respect for
non-Christian religions, or regards them as good or deserving of
respect (such as the Vatican II sect and it’s antipopes
constantly does), denies and disrespects Jesus Christ and is an
apostate.

Pope Pius XI,
Mortalium Animos (# 2), Jan. 6, 1928: “… that
false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good
and praiseworthy… Not only are those who hold this
opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of
true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn
aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it
clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these
theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the
divinely revealed religion.”

We hear all the time from people who
deny that their “traditionalist” priest denies the
salvation dogma. “No, my priest doesn’t believe that,”
they say about SSPX priests, CMRI priests, SSPV priests, etc. We try
to tell them “yes, your priest most likely does believe that,
just ask him about the ‘good’ Jews and Hindus and you
will see.” And if your priest does not believe that yet adheres
to a society that does (that is, believes in baptism of desire for
non-Catholics), then, if he obstinately choose to remain in
communion with them despite being aware of their heretical beliefs,
he would become a schismatic (if he wasn’t one already) since
he professes religious communion and membership with non-Catholics
and a non-Catholic heretical sect and hence, he is a schismatic
unless he separates from them, since by professing communion with
heretics, he automatically breaks of communion with the true Catholic
Church.

The unity of faith that must exist
between people who call themselves Catholic and who worship God is
one constant that can never be changed according to Catholic
teaching. This is called divine law. Without the unity of faith,
there is only darkness and eternal hellfire as Pope Leo XIII and the
following quotes makes perfectly clear:

Pope Leo XIII,
SatisCognitum (# 10), June 29, 1896: “For this
reason, as the unity of the faith is of necessity required for
the unity of the Church, inasmuch as it is the body
of the faithful, so also for this same unity, inasmuch as the
Church is a divinely constituted society, unity of government, which
effects and involves unity of communion, is
necessary jure divino (by divine law).”

Pope Pius XII,
MysticiCorporis Christi (# 22): “As therefore in
the true Christian community there is only one Body, one Spirit,
one Lord, and one Baptism, so there can be only one faith. And
therefore if a man refuse to hear the Church let him be considered
– so the Lord commands – as a heathen and a publican.
It follows that those who are divided in faith or government
cannot be living in the unity of such a Body, nor can they be
living the life of its one Divine Spirit.”

Pope St. Clement
I, 1st Century: “If any man shall be friendly to those
with whom the Roman Pontiff is not in communion, he is in complicity
with those who want to destroy the Church of God; and,
although he may seem to be with us in body, he is against us in mind
and spirit, and is a much more dangerous enemy than those who are
outside and are our avowed foes.”

This Heresy shows us again how priests
who deny the salvation dogma will make statements (often in the same
speech) which make it seem as if they believe in it.

Pope Gregory XVI,
MirariVos (# 13), Aug. 15, 1832: “With the
admonition of the apostle, that ‘there is one God, one faith,
one baptism’ (Eph. 4:5), may those fear who contrive the notion
that the safe harbor of salvation is open to persons of any religion
whatever. They should consider the testimony of Christ Himself that
‘those who are not with Christ are against Him,’ (Lk.
11:23) and that they disperse unhappily who do not gather with
Him.Therefore, ‘without a doubt, they will perish
forever, unless they hold the Catholic faith whole and inviolate(Athanasian Creed).”

Pope Eugene IV,
Council of Florence, The Athanasian Creed, Sess. 8, Nov. 22,
1439, ex cathedra: “Whoever wishes
to be saved, needs above all to hold the Catholic faith; unless each
one preserves this whole and inviolate, he will without a doubt
perish in eternity.” (Decrees of the Ecumenical
Councils, Vol. 1, pp. 550-553;
Denzinger 39-40)

Pope Gregory XVI,
SummoIugiter Studio (# 2), May 27, 1832: “Finally
some of these misguided people attempt to persuade
themselves and others that men are not saved only in the Catholic
religion, but that even heretics may attain eternal
life.”

Pope Pius IV,
Council of Trent, Iniunctumnobis, Nov. 13, 1565, ex
cathedra: “This true Catholic faith, outside of
which no one can be saved… I now profess and truly
hold…” (Denz. 1000)

Pope Eugene IV,
Council of Florence, “Cantate Domino,” 1441, ex
cathedra: “The Holy Roman Church firmly believes,
professes and preaches that all those who are outside the
Catholic Church, not only pagans but
also Jews or heretics and schismatics, cannot share in eternal life
and will go into the everlasting fire which was prepared for the
devil and his angels, unless they are joined to the Church before the
end of their lives; that the unity of this ecclesiastical body is
of such importance that only for those who abide in it do the
Church’s sacraments contribute to salvation and do fasts,
almsgiving and other works of piety and practices of the Christian
militia produce eternal rewards; and that nobody can be saved, no
matter how much he has given away in alms and even if he has shed
blood in the name of Christ, unless he has persevered in the bosom
and unity of the Catholic Church.”

Bishop Fellay is preaching a new gospel
directly contrary to Sacred Scripture. He is preaching that idolaters
(Hindus) can actually be saved.

The Theology of the SSPX

I attended the
SSPX for years, enjoying the freedom to be devoted at mass, and
agreed with almost everything I heard, except the fact that the
figure of John Paul II hung like a dark cloud in the background at
all times. Then a priest echoed Bishop Fellay, saying, "We
know that people can be saved in other
religions..." without blushing. After mass, I looked around
for support - no one said a thing, although many looked concerned. I
am now far away, and I follow the disciplines you have graciously
provided, with Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary according to
St. Louis de Montfort, and the full rosary daily, if possible.

If BOD is valid,
the Baptism of the Church cannot be said to "signify that which
it effects, and effect that which it signifies." This is
unavoidable, since there would be occasions when, upon approaching
the Salvific Waters, the catechumen would already have been reborn;
thus the sacrament would not be effecting that which it signifies…

Thanks for all
your efforts. God bless you,

James B.

Response: They simply don’t have
the Catholic faith. Their dissent from Catholic dogma on salvation is
a prime reason for that. The incident you mention is another example
of their complete rejection of the defined dogma, Outside the Church
There is No Salvation. Furthermore, their obstinately heretical
adherence to the antipopes has led them into a false view of the
Papacy that is, in terms of the strict doctrinal content of the
position, basically no different from that of the “Old
Catholics”. (The “Old Catholics” were schismatics
and heretics who accepted papal primacy, but rejected papal
infallibility.) That’s essentially the position of all
obstinate false traditionalists at this point: by adherence to
the heretical antipopes, they have so degraded the office of the
Papacy that they reject papal infallibility.

For example, they hold that popes can
err in teachings solemnly promulgated at an “ecumenical
council” (i.e., Vatican II); in the teaching of their
“universal” or “ordinary” magisterium (e.g.,
Antipope Francis’ Evangelii Gaudium); in their “solemn
canonizations” (e.g., the “canonization” of
Antipope John Paul II); etc. Their position is absurd, evil and
heretical, yet amazingly many in the “traditional movement”
still hold it. It’s a striking example of the profound bad will
and faithlessness of such people. The supernatural
principles proving that the antipopes cannot be popes or members of
the Catholic Church are outweighed, in their faithless minds and
hearts, by the external component of having a live bodywho
dresses up in robes to call the pope, even if the man practices
Judaism, says atheists can be saved, professes a false faith, etc.

Another reason many false
traditionalists still hold such an absurd position, despite the
mountain of evidence refuting it, is that they serve man instead of
God. They don’t simply tell the truth as it is, but rather
hide, distort or alter the message for reasons of human respect, to
avoid offending people, to remain in certain groups, to maintain
certain friendships or positions, etc.

CONCERNING THOSE BAPTIZED
VALIDLY AS INFANTS BY MEMBERS OF NON-CATHOLIC SECTS

The Catholic
Church has always taught that anyone (including a layman or a
non-Catholic) can validly baptize if he adheres to proper matter and
form and if he has the intention of doing what the Church does.

Pope
Eugene IV, Council of Florence, “Exultate Deo,” 1439: “In
case of necessity, however, not only a priest or a deacon, but even a
layman or woman, yes even a pagan and a heretic can baptize, so long
as he preserves the form of the Church and has the intention of doing
what the Church does.” (Denzinger 696)

The Church has
always taught that infants baptized in heretical and schismatic
churches are made Catholics, members of the Church and subjects of
the Roman Pontiff, even if the people who baptized them are heretics
who are outside the Catholic Church. This is because the infant,
being below the age of reason, cannot be a heretic or schismatic. He
cannot have an impediment which would prevent Baptism from making him
a member of the Church.

Pope
Paul III, Council of Trent, Sess. 7, Can. 13 on the Sacrament of
Baptism: “If anyone shall say that infants, because they
have not actual faith, after having received baptism are not to be
numbered among the faithful… let him be anathema.”

This means that
all validly baptized infants wherever they are, even those baptized
in heretical non-Catholic churches by heretical ministers, are made
members of the Catholic Church. They are also made subject to the
Roman Pontiff (if there is one). So, at what one point does this
baptized Catholic infant become a non-Catholic – severing his
membership in the Church and subjection to the Roman Pontiff? After
the baptized infant reaches the age of reason, he or she becomes a
heretic or a schismatic and severs his membership in the Church and
severs subjection to the Roman Pontiff when he or she obstinately
rejects any teaching of the Catholic Church or
loses Faith in the essential mysteries of the Trinity and
Incarnation.

Pope
Clement VI, Super quibusdam, Sept. 20, 1351: “…We
ask: In the first place whether you and the Church of the
Armenians which is obedient to you, believe that all those
who in baptism have received the same Catholic faith, and
afterwards have withdrawn and will withdraw in the future from the
communion of this same Roman Church, which one alone is
Catholic, are schismatic and heretical, if they remain
obstinately separated from the
faith of this Roman Church. In the second place, we ask
whether you and the Armenians obedient to you believe that no man of
the wayfarers outside the faith of this Church, and outside the
obedience of the Pope of Rome, can finally be saved.”

So, one must be
clear on these points: 1) The unbaptized (Jews, Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists, Mormons, pagans, etc.) must all join the Catholic Church
by receiving valid Baptism and the Catholic Faith or they will all
be lost. 2) Among those who are validly baptized as infants, they are
made Catholics, members of the Church and subjects of the Roman
Pontiff by Baptism. They only sever that membership (which they
already possess) when they obstinately reject any Catholic dogma
or believe something contrary to the essential mysteries of the
Trinity and Incarnation. In the teaching of Pope Clement VI above, we
see this second point clearly taught: all who receive the Catholic
Faith in Baptism lose that Faith and become schismatic and heretical
if they become “obstinately separated from
the faith of this Roman Church.”

The fact is that
all Protestants who reject the Catholic Church or its dogmas on the
sacraments, the Papacy, etc. have obstinately separated from the
Faith of the Roman Church and have therefore severed their membership
in the Church of Christ. The same is true with the “Eastern
Orthodox” who obstinately reject dogmas on the Papacy and Papal
Infallibility. They need to be converted to the Catholic Faith for
salvation.

The
baptized children who reach the age of reason (and become adults) in
Protestant, Eastern Schismatic, etc. church buildings and believe in
the Trinity and the Incarnation (the essential components of the
Catholic Faith) and who
don’t reject any Catholic dogma because they don’t know
of any other than the Trinity and Incarnation,
and
who don’t embrace any positions incompatible with the
Catholic faith, Faith in God, Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the Natural
Law (see The
Natural Law)
or what they know to be clearly taught in Scripture, WOULD BE
CATHOLICS
IN A HERETICAL CHURCH BUILDING.

Council
of Elvira, Canon 22, 300 A.D.: “If someone leaves the
Catholic Church and goes over to a heresy, and then
returns again, it is determined that penance is not to be denied to
such a one, since he has acknowledged his sin. Let him do
penance, then, for ten years, and after ten years he may come forward
to communion. If, indeed, there were children who were led
astray, since they have not sinned of their own fault, they may be
received without delay.” (The Faith of the Early
Fathers, Vol. 1: 611n)

This means that
the children above reason who were attending the church of a
heretical sect with their parents were not heretics because they were
not obstinately against something they knew to be taught by the
Church! This fact is also true of all people of all ages who go to a
heretical church without being obstinately opposed to any Church
teaching. This is exactly the Catholic position and what the
Church has always taught (as we have seen) – which is that
to be a heretic one must obstinately reject
something they know to be taught by God or the Catholic Church.

Canon
1325, 1917 Code of Canon Law: “After the reception of baptism,
if anyone, retaining the
name Christian, pertinaciously
[or obstinately] denies or doubts
something to be believed from the truth of divine and Catholic faith,
[such a one] is a heretic.”

Please consult
the following sections to learn what things one can and cannot be
ignorant about when it comes to the Catholic faith, its teachings and
dogmas – and concerning whether such a person is to be
considered a Catholic, an unbeliever or a heretic:

PROOF FOR THE SEDEVACANTIST POSITION

As infallible taught in the bull
Cum ex apostolatus officio: someone who calls himself the
“Pope”, even if unanimously elected by all the cardinals,
but who is a heretic must be rejected by us as an antipope.
Therefore, this also proves that we must reject Francis as an
antipope since he rejects many Catholic dogmas and the Natural law
(such as Francis’ heresy on atheism and homosexuality) which no
one can reject and be a ‘material heretic’ or in material
heresy or ignorant about.

As
we will show, since Antipope Francis teaches heresies against the
natural law (a law which no one can reject and be a ‘material
heretic’, or in material heresy or ignorant about without
becoming a heretic), such as his heresies on atheism and
homosexuality, all those who regard him as the Pope after being aware
of these facts sin mortally against their conscience and become
heretics and schismatics.

The
natural law is written on the heart of all men, so that all men know
that certain things are against God’s law and that certain
things are in accordance with the natural law of charity, etc.

The
natural law is the law that every person knows by instinct from
birth. It is planted by the Creator in our heart, and everyone –
even pagans who have never heard about God or the true Catholic
religion – receive this gift from God. Examples of sins that
break the natural law and that are easy to recognize are abortion,
murder, rape, theft, pedophilia, homosexuality, slander, and lying.
The conscience always convicts a person who does these things and
thus there can never be an excuse for people who commit such sins.

Romans
2:14-16: “For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by
nature those things that are of the law; these having not the law
are a law to themselves: Who shew the work of the law written
in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness to them,
and their thoughts between themselves accusing, or also defending one
another, In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus
Christ, according to my gospel.”

As the
Haydock Bible and Commentary correctly explains about Romans
2:14-16:

“these
men are a law to themselves, and have it written in
their hearts, as to the existence of a God, and their reason tells
them, that many sins are unlawful...”

As we will
see, Francis says he respects those who favor the abomination of same
sex “marriage”, and says he never was disrespectful to
sodomites and perverts. Francis also says he does not “judge”
homosexuals and that a person who is gay can have “good will”.

Discussing
homosexuals (people in general and clergy), Francis said in July
2013:

“If
a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who
am I to judge them?”

Francis
claims to be the first Judge in the Catholic Church, a pope, and yet
says “who am I to judge” homosexuals. It is shocking and
a total inversion of Catholic morals… It is not surprising
that Francis believes such horrible things when he idolizes man.

Also
notice the following interesting statements Francis makes about gay
“marriage” and homosexuals.

Francis,
On Heaven and Earth, p. 117: “When the head of the
Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, did not
appeal the judge’s opinion right away authorizing a [same-sex]
wedding, I felt that I had something to say, to inform; I saw myself
with an obligation to state my opinion. It was the first time in
eighteen years as bishop that I criticized a government official. If
you analyze the two declarations that I formulated, at no time did I
speak about homosexuals nor did I make any derogatory reference
toward them… Macri told me that these were his convictions; I
respected him for that, but the head of the Government does not
have to transfer his personal convictions to law. In no moment did I
speak disrespectfully about homosexuals…”

Here
we see that Francis says he respects those who favor the abomination
of same sex “marriage”, and that he never was
disrespectful to sodomites and perverts.

Francis
also mentions how he allowed the pro-gay “marriage”
supporting president of Argentina, Nestor Kirchner, to preside over a
“Catholic” memorial service to honor deceased “Catholic
priests” and seminarians:

Francis,
Conversations, p. 145: “I even asked him to preside over
the ceremony when he arrived at the church…”

Later
when the apostate president died, Francis immediately offered a
public “requiem mass” for him.

Francis
also allowed politicians who are vocal pro-abortion and gay
“marriage” supporters to receive “communion”
at his installation “mass”.

LifeNews,
Mars 20, 2013: “Pro-abortion Biden and Pelosi Received
Communion at Mass for Antipope Francis - The communion issue was
exacerbated when, despite their pro-abortion views, Vice President
Joe Biden and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi both received
communion at the Mass to celebrate Pope Francis’ inauguration.
Biden’s office confirmed to the Washington Times that he had
received communion and reporters in the White House presidential
reporting pool confirmed in an email to LifeNews that Pelosi had
received it as well. … “At a Mass during which
our new Pope emphasized the duty public officials – and all the
rest of us – have to protect the weakest among us, Joe
Biden and Nancy Pelosi have the audacity to receive Communion while
publicly renouncing their responsibility to protect the weakest among
us.”

It
has now also been documented and confirmed that Francis favored
homosexual civil unions when he was in Argentina. He just didn’t
want a homosexual civil union to be called a marriage.

CNN,
March 21, 2013: “Behind closed doors, pope supported civil
unions in Argentina, activist says - Less than an hour after he
fired off an angry letter to Catholic Church leaders about their
handling of Argentina’s same-sex marriage debate, Marcelo
Marquez says his phone rang. … "He [Francis, then the
“archbishop” of Buenos Aires] told me. … ‘I’m
in favor of gay rights and in any case, I also favor civil unions for
homosexuals, but I believe that Argentina is not yet ready
for a gay marriage law," said Marquez, a gay rights activist, a
self-described devout Catholic and a former theology professor at a
Catholic seminary.”

HuffingtonPost,
March 20, 2013: “Pope Francis Advocated For Civil Unions For
Gay Couples In 2010 As Argentina’s Cardinal Bergoglio -
Pope Francis supported civil unions for gay couples as recently as
2010. … As Argentina’s legislature debated President
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s bill to allow gay marriage,
Francis -- then known as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio -- suggested
to his bishops that the Church support civil unions as a compromise
of sorts. At the time, civil unions were already legal in parts of
Argentina ABC noted. Civil unions were the “lesser of two
evils,” said Sergio Rubin, authorized biographer for
then-Cardinal Bergoglio, according to The New York Times. “He
[Bergoglio] wagered on a position of greater dialogue with society.”

It
has also been reported that Francis still favors homosexual civil
unions as “Pope”.

DailyMail,
March 10, 2014: “Pope to stop condemning same-sex civil
partnerships hints leading cardinal in move which could be step
towards Catholic gay marriage - Pope Francis has suggested that
the Vatican could support gay civil unions in the future, according
to one of the church’s most senior cardinals. Cardinal Timothy
Dolan said that the pontiff wants the Catholic Church to study
same-sex unions, ‘rather than condemn them’. Cardinal
Dolan told American television that Francis wants church leaders to
‘look into it and see the reasons that have driven them.’
… In an interview to mark his first year in the church’s
top job, Pope Francis last week reaffirmed the Vatican’s
opposition to gay marriage but indicated that some types of civil
unions could be acceptable to the church. The Pope restated the
church’s teaching that ‘marriage is between a man and a
woman,’ but added ‘We have to look at different cases and
evaluate them in their variety.’ Some countries justify civil
unions as a way to provide the same economic and legal rights to
cohabitating couples as those who are married, the Pope said in the
interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. …
Francis’ comments are the first time that a Pope has
indicated even tentative acceptance of civil unions, according to
Vatican watchers. … In recognition for the perceived
change in stance Francis appeared on the cover of gay magazine The
Advocate as their person of the year.”

Sergio
Rubin is an Argentine journalist and authorized biographer of
Francis. He wrote (in 2010) the only biography of Jorge Bergoglio
(now Antipope Francis) available at the time of his election. Rubin
testified that while taking a strong stand against same-sex marriage,
Bergoglio raised the possibility in 2010 with his bishops in
Argentina that they support the idea of civil unions as a compromise
position. On
Gay Unions, a Pragmatist Before He Was a Pope.
The article went on to say that “a majority of the bishops
voted to overrule him”.

In
addition to Marquez and Rubin’s testimonies, two other
Argentine journalists and two senior officials of the Argentine
“bishops conference”, supported Rubin’s account:

NCR
Online, Apr. 12, 2013: “On March 19, The New York Times
reported that when Argentina was gearing up for a bitter national
debate on gay marriage in 2009 and 2010, Bergoglio quietly
favored a compromise solution that would have included civil unions
for same-sex couples. … On this score, I was told
by three sources in Argentina that the Times basically got it right:
Bergoglio did, in fact, favor civil unions. That
was confirmed on background by two senior officials of the
bishops’ conference in Argentina, both of whom worked with
Bergoglio and took part in the behind-the-scenes discussions as the
conference tried to shape its position. "Bergoglio supported
civil unions," one of those officials told me. Mariano
de Vedia, a veteran journalist for La Nación, has covered
church/state issues in Argentina for years and said he
could confirm Bergoglio’s position had been correctly described
in the Times account. Guillermo Villarreal, a Catholic
journalist in Argentina, said it was well known at the time
that Bergoglio’s moderate position was opposed by Archbishop
Héctor Rubén Aguer of La Plata, the leader of
the hawks.”

This
is heresy. It means that Francis approved perverted and abominable
sexual behavior that is condemned in Scripture and Catholic teaching.
His stance is no different at all from endorsing abortion under the
condition that the state does not give abortion special or privileged
status by using state funds for it.

All
of this without a doubt proves that Francis is certainly not a
Catholic. He’s not a pope, he’s not a lover of truth and
of the true God, he’s not honest, he’s not seeking to
convert souls to the one true faith, etc. As he cannot defend openly
gay pseudo-marriage, he uses relativism to defend the “gay
agenda”, reducing the issue of homosexuality to the mere
political lobby. “If a person is gay and seeking God, who am I
to judge her?”, says Antipope Francis.

Since
Francis idolizes man, it’s no wonder he endorses such
blasphemies and perversions. One hear the “You can’t
judge!” heresy so many times it makes one sick. Heretics love
this evil phrase and will recite it every time someone charitably
rebukes their sinful lifestyle. They don’t seem to grasp the
fact that God has already judged (Leviticus 20:13; 1 Corinthians
6:9).

More
on Francis’ Heresies on Homosexuals and Homosexuality

Antipope
Francis recently gave a shocking interview to the editor of the
so-called Jesuit journal, La Civilta Cattolica. He was
interviewed by Antonio Spadaro on behalf of La Civilta Cattolica,
Thinking Faith, America and several other major Jesuit
journals around the world. The interview was conducted in Italian.
After the Italian text was officially approved, a team of five
independent experts were commissioned to produce the English
translation, which is also published by America.

On
p. 7 of the interview, Francis is talking about homosexuals. He says:

“In
Buenos Aires I used to receive letters from homosexuals persons who
are ‘socially wounded’ because they tell me that they
feel like the church has always condemned them. But
the church does not want to do this.
During the return flight from
Rio de Janeiro I said
that if a homosexual person is of good will and is in search of God,
I am no one to judge.”
He goes on to say, “it is not possible to interfere spiritually
in the life of a person.” Thinking
Faith, Sept. 19, 2013, p. 7.

He
then re-quotes something he said previously about homosexuals:

“A
person once asked me, in a provocative manner, if I approved of
homosexuality. I replied with another question: “‘Tell
me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of
this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?’
We must always consider the person.” Thinking
Faith, Sept. 19, 2013, p. 8.

This
is wicked heresy! First he says, he’s “no one to
judge” and that “the church does not want to do this
[that is, condemn the homosexuals].” That’s interesting
because the First Vatican Council declared that a Pope (a true Pope)
is the supreme judge of the faithful. Francis doesn’t judge or
condemn anyone because he’s not a Catholic and he’s not
the Pope. Also, to say that the Church does not condemn homosexuals
is equivalent to saying that God does not condemn homosexuals. There
is no difference between the two.

Second,
he’s discussing homosexuals. He says he’s no one to
judge, and he teaches that God and the Church doesn’t condemn
them or reject them. That indicates quite clearly, that homosexuals
could be justified despite their wickedness and abominable behavior.
And, we know Francis is including active homosexuals in his comments,
because he makes no distinction between people who merely consider
themselves to have a homosexual orientation, and those who engage in
homosexual behavior.

Indeed,
we know he’s talking about those who engage in homosexual acts
because Francis refers to homosexuals who have claimed to him that
they feel excluded. That obviously includes active homosexuals. In
fact, in this very context Francis speaks of confession. “This
is also the great benefit of confession as a sacrament: evaluating
case by case and discerning what is the best thing to do for a person
who seeks God and grace.” Thinking Faith, Sept. 19,
2013, p. 8.

The
Vatican II sect would only consider homosexual acts, not the
homosexual orientation, matters for confession. (both are equally
wrong, however).

And
Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) and John Paul II both approved of the
following statement concerning homosexuality:

“Sacred
Scripture condemns homosexual
acts “as a serious
depravity... (cf. Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10). This
judgment of Scripture does not of course permit us to conclude that
all those who suffer from this anomaly [homosexuality] are
personally responsible for it,
but it does attest to the fact that homosexual acts are intrinsically
disordered”. …

The
Sovereign Pontiff John Paul II, in the Audience of March 28, 2003,
approved the present Considerations, adopted in the Ordinary Session
of this Congregation, and ordered their publication.

(Congregation

Proposals To Give Legal Recognition To Unions Between Homosexual
Persons, nr. 4, 2003)

By
the way, Scripture is quite clear that the homosexual orientation is
unnatural and results from mortal sin, idolatry and apostasy. See
Romans chapter 1.

Romans
1:26-27: “For this cause God delivered them up to shameful
affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that
use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also,
leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one
towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and
receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.”

Francis
then speaks in the very same context of gay “marriage”.
That obviously refers to, and includes practicing homosexuals.
Francis also says in this very context, “that we must consider
their situation” and look upon things with “mercy”
which come in the context of his reference to confession, and which
can only have meaning if he’s referring to practicing
homosexuals, since the Vatican II sect would only consider homosexual
acts, not the homosexual orientation, matters for confession.

Francis
also applied his comments to both “homosexual persons”
and to “homosexuality.”

Read
carefully in context, there is no doubt that Francis’ teaching
that he does not judge, condemn or reject homosexuals or
homosexuality including practicing homosexuals. That is totally evil
and it is heresy.

Francis’
Heresies on Atheism and Atheists

Antipope
Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
(# 254), Nov. 24, 2013: “Non-Christians[such as pagans and atheists],
by God’s gracious initiative, when
they are faithful to their own consciences,
can live “justified
by the grace of God”,
and thus be “associated to the paschal mystery of Jesus
Christ”… to the sacramental dimension of sanctifying
grace... to live our
own beliefs.”

It
is infallibly taught in Sacred Scripture that everyone above the age
of reason can know with certainty that there is a God. They know this
by the things that are made: the trees, the grass, the sun, the moon,
the stars, etc. Anyone who is an atheist or agnostic (who believes
that God does not exist or is unknowable) is without excuse. The
natural law convicts him. This is a revealed truth of Sacred
Scripture.

Creation
itself bears witness that there is a God, that is, a living,
omnipotent and intelligent Being who created it. The apostle Paul
wrote to the saints in Rome that since the creation of the world,
God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and Godhead
– have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been
made (Romans 1:20); and David said that the heavens declare the glory
of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork (Psalm 19:1).
Therefore, since the existence of God is so clearly witnessed by His
works, those who deny His existence are without excuse. “The
fool has said in his heart, ‘there is no God’”
(Psalm 53:1).

God
defined infallibly, based on Romans 1, that the one true God can be
known with certitude by the things which have been made, and by the
natural light of human reason.

Romans
1:19-21: “Because that which is known of God is manifest in
them. For God hath manifested it unto them. For
the invisible things of Him, from the creation of the world, are
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; His
eternal power also, and divinity: SO
THAT THEY ARE INEXCUSABLE.”

St.
Paul teaches that atheists are inexcusable because God’s
creation proves His existence. Francis, on the contrary, teaches that
atheists can be excused and saved. This causes us to ask, “What
bible was Francis using?” It must have been the revised satanic
edition. His statement about those who don’t acknowledge God is
not only condemned by St. Paul, but also by Vatican Council I.
Vatican I dogmatically defined
the principle set forth in Romans 1 – which directly
contradicts the teaching of atheism, agnosticism and Antipope
Francis.

Pope
Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Session 3, On Revelation, Can.
1: “If anyone shall have said that the one true God, our
Creator and Lord, cannot be known with certitude by those things
which have been made, by the natural light of human reason: let him
be anathema.”

Pope
Pius IX, First Vatican Council, Session 3, On God the Creator,
Can. 1: “If anyone shall have denied the one true God,
Creator and Lord of visible and invisible things: let him be
anathema.”

Francis
falls directly under these anathemas by its heretical teaching above.

Yet
despite this dogmatic teaching based on Romans 1, in On Heaven and
Earth, pp. 12-13 Francis says he respects atheists and doesn’t
try to convert them. He also says that their “life is not
condemned”:

“I
do not approach the relationship in
order to proselytize, or convert the atheist;
I respect him… nor
would I say that his life is condemned,
because I am convinced that I do not have the right to make a
judgment about the honesty of that person… every man is the
image of God, whether he is a believer or not. For that reason alone
everyone has a series of virtues, qualities, and a greatness of his
own.” (Francis, On Heaven
and Earth, pp. 12-13)

In
contrast to Francis, the Council of Florence dogmatically defined
that any individual who has a view contrary to the Catholic Church’s
teaching on Our Lord Jesus Christ or the Trinity, or any one of the
truths about Our Lord or the Trinity, is rejected,
condemned and anathematized by God.

Pope
Eugene IV, Council of Florence, Bull Cantate Domino, 1442, ex
cathedra: “… the holy Roman Church, founded on the words
of our Lord and Savior, firmly believes, professes and preaches
one true God, almighty, immutable and eternal, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit… Therefore it [the
Church] condemns, rejects,
anathematizesand declares to be outside
the Body of Christ [and of God], which is the Church,
whoever holds opposing or contrary views.”

An
atheists interviewed Francis for the Italian newspaper The
Republic. The interview was published on October 1, 2013. Francis
directly told the atheist that he has no intention of trying to
convert him. Francis rejects proselytism four different times in this
interview. Francis declared: “Proselytism is solemn
nonsense, it makes no sense.”

Now,
our Lord commanded the apostle to go and proselytize, to go and
teach. He said: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commended you.” (Matthew 28:19)

How
clear is that? And what’s really outrageous about this
statement is that he’s essentially spitting on and mocking the
martyrs, who suffered, died, were tortured, for teaching, preaching
and spreading the true faith; and this apostate has the nerve to call
it a solemn nonsense. That anyone claiming to be the Pope says such
an evil statement, is incredible.

Pope
Leo XIII, Satis Cognitum (# 13), June 29, 1896: “Therefore
if a man does not want to be, or to be called, a heretic, let him not
strive to please this or that man… but let him hasten
before all things to be in communion with the Roman See.”

Pope
Pius IV, profession of faith, Council of Trent, ex cathedra: “This
true Catholic faith, outside of which no one can be saved…
I now profess and truly hold…”

The
Catholic Church infallibly teaches that atheists are condemned and
that they must be converted to the Catholic faith for salvation.
Yet, Antipope Francis is dominating the headlines around the world
with his assertion that people don’t need to
believe in God to get to heaven.

Antipope
Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
(# 254), Nov. 24, 2013: “Non-Christians[such as atheists], by God’s
gracious initiative, when
they are faithful to their own consciences,
can live “justified
by the grace of God”,
and thus be “associated to the paschal mystery of Jesus
Christ”… to the sacramental dimension of sanctifying
grace... to live our
own beliefs.”

Concerning
atheists, Francis wrote:

“First
of all, you ask if the God of
Christians forgives
those who do not believe and do not seek faith.
Given that - and this is fundamental - God’s mercy has no
limits if he who asks for mercy does so in contrition and with a
sincere heart, the issue for
those who do not believe in God is in obeying
their own conscience. In
fact, listening and obeying it, means deciding about what is
perceived to be good or to be evil. The goodness or the wickedness of
our behavior depends on this decision.” (“Pope”
Francisco writes to La Repubblica: “An open dialogue with
non-believers”, 2013/09/11/)

Here
Francis clearly indicates that people who don’t believe in God
can be forgiven and saved if they obey their own conscience and
follow what they perceive to be good; and later in his “Evangelii
Gaudium” (254) he confirmed that this indeed was what he
meant. So don’t allow any liar to claim that Francis’
statement has been misrepresented. It has not been misrepresented as
Antipope Francis himself confirmed.

That’s
an astounding heresy because it’s a basic dogma of Catholicism
that faith is necessary for salvation. This is a fundamental issue.
As Hebrews 11:6 says, “…without faith it is impossible
to please God.”

The
dogma of the Church, that no one can be justified, saved or pleasing
to God without faith was taught throughout history and solemnly
declared by the Council of Trent and Vatican I. Both Councils
repeated the truth of Hebrews 11:6. Of course, it’s also a
dogma that one must have the Catholic faith to be saved, and that no
one can be saved outside the Catholic Church. These truths have been
defined by many popes.

Francis’
heresy trashes and denies all of those proclamations, but it gets
even worse, because there are specific dogmatic definitions against
the notion that atheists can be excused or saved.
